Inform and Empower Webinar
Carly McGauran from Inform and Empower is presenting a webinar on 'Tackling Tricky Conversations'. This session will provide strategies to feel more relaxed and empower you to have those tricky conversations that are critical to your child's development. She will provide ideas to help you have conversations with kids who just won't talk, she will discuss how to encourage your child to come to you when they have a problem, as well as touching on tough topics including sexuality, pornography, separation, death, self harm and suicide.
Please read the attached flyer with more information and registration details.
At OLA, we have always found these webinars easy to listen to and very informative! Join us online on Thursday 14 November at 7:30PM.
Celebrating Children's Week
With Children’s Week around the corner (19-27 October 2024), we're encouraging parents, carers and other trusted adults to talk to your children about how to create, connect and explore the wonders of technology in a safe and appropriate way.
Here’s some ideas to get you started!
- 🕮 Read – Online safety picture book and song
- DO– Story puzzles with Swoosh and Glide
- Watch– Online safety Mighty Heroes video series
Talking about online risks with your kids
Some topics are hard to talk about, even with other adults. Discussing online safety and sexual abuse online with your child can be daunting and difficult. eSafety has published a suite of new resources to help guide conversations with your children about online safety.
- Read – Tips for talking to 0 to 12 year olds and 13 to 18 year olds about child sexual abuse online
- Watch– Videos on protecting children from child sexual abuse online
- Listen – eSafety staff speak to the Fathering Project podcast about online safety.
Having conversations early and often is important. Talking regularly and openly with children about what they’re doing online, how it makes them feel and who they’re connecting with is one of the most effective ways to help protect them.

eSafety’s live webinars give parents and carers the knowledge, skills and tools to support their children to have safe online experiences.
